“These Small Cap Setups Are Getting My Attention”
S&P conditions are favorable for stock picking due to low volatility and rising trend; breaking the 18-week support would negatively impact the market bias.

So, I want to focus here on what's taking place in the S&P, and if you notice in both time frames now, we have this declining moving average, and we've got we've just made a lower high and a lower low in the average true range on the weekly, and you can see this bigger one on the daily chart, all right?

So, this is basically a zoomed-in version of this chart. And what what I'm saying here is with this declining volatility and rising trend in both time frames, this is a pretty solid condition to be in place for stock picking, to be able to buy stocks.

“The Sector Rotation Just Changed. Here’s What’s Leading”
SPY relative strength vs VBIX remains positive but is losing momentum; stance is neutral with positive bias.

We still have spy on the right-hand side, equities on the right-hand side, so that's really the only sector against VBI and X in a relative uptrend, but it's losing momentum.

It's doing that for last couple of weeks already. Basically started to roll over here, that's July 10th, and is is in that same rolling over trend ever since and it's now crossing into the weakening quadrant.
